The sheriff said the department invited roughly 20 applicants to testing out of a large applicant pool and expects to hire two new positions created by recent staffing increases. He also reported that most patrol shifts “have tested for their fitness eval” and that everyone tested so far has “exceeded the standard,” with a few members still to complete evaluations because of leave.

On body-worn cameras, the sheriff said he has “drafted a policy” and submitted it to the Indiana Department of Homeland Security for review about a month earlier. He said his state rep indicated initial support and that the sheriff will share the final policy with commissioners after receiving the department’s response.

In response to a question about the fitness standard, the sheriff described the evaluation components, which include a timed mile walk with age-based standards from the American Exercise Council, stair work carrying equipment, two minutes of CPR, a 95-pound deadlift and a 75-pound patient lift. He characterized the evaluations as “things that we do day to day” to ensure staff fitness for duty.

No formal votes were taken on the sheriff’s items; the presentations were informational updates to the board.

Campbell said Central Paving applied calcium last week and that paving started yesterday on 100 North; after that, crews will move to other sections and to 425. He told the board the season’s allocated funds for 2024 work had been spent.

Road crews also are hauling stone for chip-seal projects and performing wedge work on spots needing extra repairs. Campbell said the county has resumed removing railroad crossings as roads have dried.

The highway department is scheduled to receive a new mower on Thursday, and the operator will receive training Friday, Campbell said. When commissioners asked for a timetable to finish paving, Campbell said weather was a factor and he expected work to be done “next week sometime” if rain subsided.

No votes were recorded on highway items during the meeting; the report was informational.

The county attorney and HR presented the policy, which the board identified as “ordinance 2025-05, the ordinance adopting the County Of Clinton temporary remote work policy.” Commissioners approved the policy by motion; the vote was recorded as 3-0 and the chair said the policy “takes effect immediately.”

Under the new policy, temporary remote-work requests will be reviewed first within each department by the department head. Final approval must come from the Board of Commissioners before a temporary remote-work agreement is implemented, the board said. HR prepared a temporary remote work agreement form that will be routed to commissioners for approval after department-level sign-off.

The county said the policy clarifies ambiguity from the 2021 employee handbook, which previously lacked a specified remote-work policy. County leaders said the absence of a policy had led to inconsistent interpretation and, in some cases, perceived misuse; the new ordinance is intended to set consistent requirements, including temporary remote work agreements and departmental review.

Commissioners said HR and WIS helped draft the policy and that department heads will receive the final policy and forms electronically. The board recorded the adoption as effective immediately upon the vote at the May 20 meeting.

The most immediate action was approving a quote from 2 Men in a Truck to move courthouse contents to the new county building. The commissioners voted to approve the mover’s quote; the board recorded the motion as carrying 3-0.

The storage plan discussed at the meeting centers on a single large unit owned by Bill Miller, the former Keeney’s service station near the CVS and behind the museum. Judge Mueller, who presented the proposal to the board, said the building is “5,000 square feet” and “all 1 large, uninterrupted unit,” with a new roof, furnace and garage doors that would accommodate large items and auctions.

Judge Mueller said the county negotiated a rate of $6 per square foot, which “would be a total of $30,000 for the year.” The proposed contract length is nine months with an option to extend three additional months, reflecting the expectation that renovations will take “somewhere between the 9 to 12 months.” He also said Miller would rekey the unit and pay utilities.

County offices reviewed budgets and identified funds to share moving and storage costs. Judge Mueller told the board that council members had “agreed to set aside $20,000” and that the offices collectively estimated they could contribute about $43,000 toward moving and storage expenses. The judge said a formal contract with Miller would be brought to the commissioners at a future meeting.

On moving, Mr. Sheets, the commissioner liaison, reported that the county solicited quotes and selected 2 Men in a Truck; he said the company provided the appraisal for moving the entire courthouse. The total cost for moving, as reported during the meeting, was $27,680. The board approved the mover quote by motion (vote recorded 3-0).

Discussion: Commissioners asked whether a contract would be ready at the next meeting; Judge Mueller replied, “I can. Yeah. Yep.” The judge also noted some items would be held short-term for use by the clerk, prosecutor and courts while staff work from the new building and return periodically for files.

Next steps: The county expects to finalize a lease contract with Miller and proceed with the contracted move. The commissioners asked staff to bring contract documents to the next meeting for formal consideration.
